Dm         C
Please be happy
             G            A#
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
Dm               C
In this state of melancholy
 G                 A#
Curled up in your chair

Please don't worry
'Cause the world won't break apart as easy
As the glass
You dropped and smashed
When you tried to climb the stairs

      Dm
There was a time
     C
Not long ago
      G                  A#
You stood right by your window
         Dm                 C
And your arms were painted feather-like
    G                    A#
So sure that you could fly

Chorus:
A#         C                 F                A#
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
A#           C                 F  C
Dragging you in with the undertow
A#      C              F                  A#
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
   Dm           C     G           A#
I still believe this love can grow

A#         C                 F                A#
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
A#           C                 F  C
Dragging you in with the undertow
A#      C              F                  A#
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts

Please be happy
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
In this state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
